The Status Bar The status bar allows the operator to keep track of the wireless signal strength and the remote’s battery life during all menu operations. NOTE: A strong wireless signal and a fully charged battery is recommended for optimal performance.
Remote Controlled Clutch Basics The WARN® ZEON® Platinum winch is equipped with a remote controlled clutch. It allows for engagement and disengagement of the clutch with the Advanced Wireless Remote Control. When the clutch is engaged, power is transferred from the winch motor to the drum and winch rope, resulting in the power-in or power-out operation. NOTE: Your WARN® ZEON® Platinum winch clutch will always default to the engaged position. When the clutch is disengaged the drum is in the freespool position, allowing the drum to rotate freely. Freespooling is generally the quickest and easiest way to spool out winch rope.
